xAnswer:

The answer would be
f(x)=2x-6

Explanation:

The question is basically asking for the slope intercept form and
f(x) is equal to
y. So after we have figured that out we would have to know what the slope intercept form is, slope intercept form is simply
y=mx+b. In the equation
m will equal the slope or the rise over run and
b will equal the y-intercept and that is all we need to solve this equation.

If we look at the graph we will see that the line crosses the y axis at the point (0,-6) so knowing that we will remember that
b is the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y axis and in this case it is crossing it at -6 so if we plug that into the equation we will get
y=mx-6.

Now we will find the slope or
m. First we will see the distance between the 2 points on the graph, if we count we will have to go up 6 to get to (0,0) and we will go right 3 so we know that slope is rise over run so you would go up or rise 6 and go right or run 3 so we would get
(6)/(3) as our slope, but we could simplify this to just 2 so we would get
2x as our
mx.

We have solved all of the parts and now we can put it together. So first we would do f of x or
f(x) which means function and than we would put
2x and finally we would put our
-6. When we put that all together we would get
f(x)=2x-6.

To check you could just graph this and you would get:

P.S. The f(x) turned into a y in the process:)

Answer:

f(x)=2x-6

Explanation:

Because the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is -6.
